Trailer
A poetic and personal cinematographic meditation on change, social inequalities and loss, the film accompanies the trajectory of filmmaker Denise Zmekhol as she discovers that her deceased father's most famous building, a modernist glass skyscraper in the heart of São Paulo, called the Wilton Paes de Almeida Building, is currently occupied by hundreds of homeless families. The feature is a profound and moving reflection, delicately interweaving the personal and the political, on Brazil's evolution during eras of darkness, transformation and rebirth.
